For the $33,000 premium that Shelby is getting for them it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't putting forged pistons and rods in the motors when they get to Shelby American.
And as far as ME saying they would be unreliable, I am just considering what the FORD ENGINEERS said.

If you look at previous Shelby cars, realistically you are looking at packages available, not a one off engine/setup that you can't achieve. So take that as you will.
WRT to the coyote, they are right... you won't be able to push the boost that a 3v can take.
What you can do is push smaller ammounts of boost and achieve more. It's not only a bigger engine, but its better breathing and has a better engine management system.
If you were looking for pushing 3v levels of boost, to make big numbers, you'll be disappointed.
Then again, you're going to have to upgrade more than just the engine to play THAT game, and at that point, why not just buy a GT500....

Best looking, gotta go with the Shelby. Could stare at that thing for hours.

Some are having their PMS around here. I can understand that.
